Review the owner's manual for proper storage - we do not recommend leaving it in water - I'm sure you could figure something out - click the support link at the top of this page to download the manual if you don't have a copy.

I would be concerned about the water chemistry in the pool. If no one is using it I'm assuming no one is keeping the pH balance and treating it for algae, etc. If it's not balanced it could have serious impact on the hull. You'd also have to anchor it so it doesn't rub the coping with wind, etc. and watch for any accumulation of water inside the hull from small leaks accumulating over long term immersion in the water. The concrete around the pool wouldn't be a problem as long as you rig something to keep the boat protected from direct contact and follow these guidelines: http://www.hobiecat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=17730

My recommendation if you have enough concrete space to sit it on would be to build a basic square wood base, put the 2 PVC 3-4 inch diameter pipes on top (long enough to work) and use that as a cradle/storage spot. It probably wouldn't hurt to cover the PA with some sort of cover to protect it from UV and the elements.

That would be an economical solution. Just my thoughts...

While I'm sure the plastic used to make these boats will degrade over time due to UV exposure from the sun (what doesn't the sun damage) I've never seen a hull degrade from exposure to water and I doubt it would happen in a person's lifetime.

Now I'm worried about the plastic rain barrels I'm using to catch roof run-off.
